Cachet design requirements: dimensions of 3” x 1 ¼”; rough draft acceptable; camera-ready art for printing; only original non-copyright art accepted; year must be somewhere in design; Loveland, CO must also appear in design; all types of art accepted as long as quality can be maintained when printed through digital press.

The submission deadline for the card, cachet, and cancellation contests is 5 p.m., Friday, Nov. 15, 2022.

Chosen designs and verses will be incorporated into the card and cachet, which will be unveiled in January 2023. The valentine card is sold throughout northern Colorado through select retailers and will be available for sale immediately after it is unveiled. The chosen cachet design and verse will be used to produce the official cachet that is stamped on all outgoing valentines that come through the 77th Annual Valentine Re-mailing Program, which kicks off January 2023. The cachet verse appears inside the cachet design. The completed cachet is reproduced on rubber stamps and used to handstamp the envelope of each valentine card re-mailed from Loveland. It is also printed on the envelope of the 2023 official Loveland Valentine card.

Winners of the card and cachet contests are awarded cash prizes and become part of Loveland’s history.
In partnership with the Loveland Post Office, the Loveland Chamber stamps its special Sweetheart City cachet on approximately 100,000 valentine cards that arrive in Loveland each year. The cachet is hand-stamp on each valentine and re-mail them to their final destinations that include more than 100 countries around the globe and all 50 states.
